A City behind the Scenes is a research pro­ject that aims to explo­re the hid­den side of a city – Brussels – from the per­spec­ti­ve of the canal. Whilst the canal is like an urban scar, a spa­ce often over­loo­ked, it is also the back­sta­ge area whe­re essen­ti­al acti­vi­ties come to light. Taking a mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­na­ry appro­ach, in the form of a col­lec­ti­ve that rede­fi­nes itself as nee­ded, we com­bi­ne inter­views, lands­ca­pe videos, sound recor­dings, pro­po­sals for move­ment and cho­re­o­grap­hy, and instal­la­ti­ons. We explo­re the inter­s­ti­ces of a ter­ri­to­ry, but also new, more open ave­nues for dissemination.
